Putting I'm A Bows lunch.

Burdette: recent Hriter-and she
writes as one whom any boy would leve-
tells how shs saw mother put up a
lunch for her boy to take to. school, and
then she tells very prettily how daintiiy
she would have put up that lunch, and
know she would do just as she said.
Now if | were going to put up lunch
for boy Ii years old, l wouldn't take a
little tin pail nor yet neat little covered
basket. I would just take the market
basket if the family wasn't going to use
it that day, and would cut up loaf of
bread. and trim off every bit of the crust
to keep the boy from lying about it and
telling me that he ate it and didn't fire it
over the fence, when he came home.
would cut the loaf of bread into slices
and spread on butter until it began to
fall off, then l would stack on the sugar
as long as it would hold. Then I would
load in couple of links of sausage and
some slabs Of ham; dainty cluster of
hard-bOiled eggs-say half dozen-all
the cake there was in the house, and fill
up the rest of the space with pie, and
then stuff two of his pockets full Of ap-
pies to eat during school hours, and fill
the rest of his pockets with nuts, and
give him 5 cents to buy "taffy." Then, if
that boy came home at four o'clock and
said he didn't have luncheon enough and
couldn't he have a piece, l would give
him the keys to the cellar, cupboard,
pantry, cake chest and fruit closet, and,
yielding to dark des pair, go out into the
barn and hang myself. We were a boy
myself, once.

STOP MY PAPER.
From the n. 7. Star. /

After you get angry and make up
your mind to stop your paper to make
the editor feel Illuminated, just poke
your finger in water and then pull it
out and look for hole. Then you will
know how sadly you have missed it. The
man who thinks paper cannot sur
vive without his support. ought TO 60
off and stay awhile. When he comes
back he will find that half his friends
don't know he was gone. The other
half didn't care cent, and the world
at large hadn't kept any account of
his movements whatever. You will
fiud things You cannot indorse in every
paper. Even the Bible is rather plain
aud hits some hard licks. II you were
to get mad and burn your Bible, the
hundreds Of presses would still 60 on
printing them, and if you were to stop
yonr paper and call the editor all sorts
of ugly names, the paper would still
be printed. And what is more, yOu'il
sneak around and borrow copy OF it
every day from your neighbor. 1t
would be much better to keep your
subscription paid year iu advance.

RowELLs' NEW GUIDE.

From the well-known advertising
house OF George P. Rowell & Co., pro-
prietors OF the newspaper advertising
bureau at 10 Spruce street, New York
City, has been issued q small volume
containing much and very important
information Tor advertisers. The list
of newspapers given contains only such
periodicals as are on sound footing,
and have circulations running up into
the thousands. The principal papers
of the south, north, east and west are
represented, and classified In conve-
nient way. 1t has been the aim Of the
publishers to sift the wheat from the
chaff, and the book directs the attention
of All advertiser toward papers which
he should and ought to use, and tends
to intercept portion of that patronage
which goes to publications which cost
greatly in excess of any power to bene-
fit which they possess. 1t takes the
general ground, that the best is the
cheapest. Among the first Journals
mentioned is the Lexington Intelligen-
Ger, one Of the best advertising mediums
